Points for what would clearly be a very inspired and balls-to-the-wall moveset, let me get the spread gun and fill the screen with bullets. It's obviously one of the gaming greats, and it deserves to be in. Point is, I'd love to see Contra get the big Smash love.

These are games that can be made on the cheap, dammit! Also, why haven't they announced Sonic Mania 2, Mega Man 12 and a new Bomberman?ДЄck, I'm ranting. Still don't understand how we didn't get a revival after the phenomenal Contra 4. There might be simply more attractive options for the same audience. The two gunmen, Bill and Lance, are probably instantly recognizable and would definitely be the ones chosen - but still, 'Bill Rizer joins Smash!' doesn't have the same ring to it as 'Simon Belmont joins Smash!', 'Bomberman joins Smash!', or even 'Ryu Hayabusa joins Smash!' That might not matter for a character like the Luminary or Terry Bogard, but it might give the higher-ups at Nintendo pause when dealing with a less active and more retro oriented franchise. Thing is, while the games themselves are undoubtedly iconic, Contra, with its inconsistent localizations, did a terrible job making its characters iconic. It's exactly the kind of unexpected yet obvious in hindsight historical choice that Sakurai loves.

And its impact can still be felt in the many games it influenced, including series in Smash like Metal Slug and Cuphead. Despite an awful transition to the 3D space, Contra never really went away and still gets releases, be they new (like the 'this should honestly get more attention' level awful Rogue Corps) and old (like last year's Anniversary Collection).

The best franchise to ever be named after an international scandalД¬ontra's one of those series that's just synonymous with gaming. Will probably want to change their nominations.
